Pressure: You may have a dental infection that is putting pressure on certain nerves of your jaw. Have yourself evaluated locally by a dentist. Allowing this to progress untreated may result in permanent numbness.

Hmmmm: There might be a relationship between a tooth problem and the lip, but i doubt the tongue and personally think that you have multiple unrelated issues. I suggest that you see both a dentist and a physician to evaluate the cause of your symptoms. You should not wait weeks when these situations occur. Set up some appointments today!

Tooth concern: The nerve that affects the teeth is the trigeminal or the 5th cranial nerve. So is the lip nerve. The tongue nerve is different but the nerves are very close together . It's time to see a dentist to see what is going on.
